[auscyclefan94]

What was Cadel enlightening us all about? I am sure it was something highly intellectual!

It's great. It's like Pitt's in Inglorious basterds, except Evans can speak it.

ACF tries to eat Cadel...gee, my erotic comments about CE are starting rather early in the coverage!

 

[eljimberino]

shaping up to be a good day, enough in the break, only 54km

 

[auscyclefan94]

peloton have really upped the pace!

 

[jens_attacks]

according to reverberi it was headwind all day.
that's why such a low average speed.

tomorrow's stage will be ok.the road conditions are perfect

good news! Always a gamble with the high mountains so early, but this stage is still going to be great with the length, even without the big mountain, and getting tomorrow's stage uninterrupted is a pretty good result for that gamble.

[manafana]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Colombians up the pace. **** peloton tactics, we're Colombian

The peloton is still almost full size though with 39k to go.

Things could have been different to say at least....

 

[skidmark]

The peloton is still almost full size though with 39k to go.

That's because it's not a 170km flat stage

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

STop crying there is still the prato di tivo tomorrow and the finish today is sufficiently hard enough to break up the peloton significantly

 

[jens_attacks]

interviewing brambilla that was very smart,he will finish 145th

 

[insideout leadout]

At least he has a cool name.

 

[Trofinios]

The peloton is still almost full size though with 39k to go.

Looking at the profile a tougher climb is coming with 33k to go, some riders will probably get dropped here.

Lol, I must have the wrong profile.

 

[jens_attacks]

now i think ginani is acqua e sapone guy at the front of the peloton.

 

[skidmark]

I really love the Italian custom of saying 'ciao' like 100 times every time you greet someone, be it at the start or finish of the conversation.
